Mood:  chillin'

So my bestie inspired me today to get back on my livejournal and kind re-visit who I used to be.  It was fun to see how much more happy and carefree I was when I was a teen then now.  And back then I thought I had a hard life (boy was I off). I also discovered that I used to write poetry, I used to want to be a poet, I mean I'm still in the same workfield but...

I miss it now that I remember what it used to mean to me.  It used to come to me, I used to get inspired. What happened? Well I think I know what happened, I had been working on a book of poetry I had been writing sing the second grade (when I decided that I was going to be a writer) and when we lost the house we lost all of the stuff we couldn't carry with us. Unfortunately I had all of my poems, and two other books I had wrote in my senior year of high school, all on the computer. Someone has either erased it all or has access to all of my hard work.

No time to dwell. But I thought I would go ahead and post what tidbits I found on here.

Lost Souls travel in the night
Together at last
They aren't so lost anymore.

I sit in a chair, staring at a screen
Not real, but so close to reality
So I confide in it, telling my every secret
Only to have it expose me to the world.

Those are the only two I found, as I was reading it a lot of different emotions went through me and I don't think I want to live through those again. I am finally appreciating not being a teenager anymore (surprise, surprise) and I'm actually ok with it. Now turning 30 is a different story...
